Dental Materials — Key differences for NEET MDS
Zinc phosphate = gold standard luting strongest compressive strength. GIC = fluoride release chemical bond least soluble water based. Resin cement = best with all-ceramic restorations. ZOE = most biocompatible least irritating weakest cement. Polycarboxylate = chemical adhesion mild pulp response. Zinc silicophosphate = combined ZPC and silicate properties.
📖 Read full notes →Stress = Force divided by Area = internal resistance. Strain = change in length divided by original length = deformation. Elastic modulus = Youngs modulus = stress divided by strain = stiffness. Toughness = total area under stress-strain curve. Resilience = energy absorbed in elastic region only. Hardness tests: Knoop for micro surfaces, Vickers universal, Brinell for macrosurfaces.
